I've progressed now with the hint from Leatherman, but unfortunately I've hit a problem. I got to the workshop and took care of that, went out the window by the mushrooms and pilfered the bedroom above where I started (sorry, forget the guy's name). When I went back outside on the patio, I climbed on the chair to try and jump across to the awning above Soren's south door, quicksaved, and then realized I was hopelessly stuck in the chair, or the wall, I'm not sure which. I reloaded and was still stuck, and on the third reload the game crashed. Unfortunately, I had done nothing but quicksaves since getting into Benson's, so I have a bit to replay. But aside from that, I'm loving this mission! Soren's poor wife, too... at first I thought the bastard had killed her, until I read the note.

Yeah, the player sometimes clips into objects and gets stuck (so it's the chair). I put player clip around the worst culprits, but sometimes you hit just the right angle on an object and it can happen.

Although did you notice that the handwriting of that note is quite different from her letter in the living room (which was also missing its P.S. when she got back from meeting Crattick) ... Was that different handwriting from emotion or from another hand? There's supposed to be a little mystery left there.

I'm sitting here typing away, watching Leatherman play this again, and he is in the warehouse, and the door busts open, and he jumps a mile high! Out runs cradick. LMAO. He looks at me, and scoffs, that scared the shit out of me, he says. Not like he hasn't played it before, hahahahahaha.

Hey now! Truth be known, that door never opened like that before, so I was taken completely off guard. I think I broke something due to testing quicksaves and sounds (trying to reproduce the errors demagogue experienced), and the timing was off. At any rate, it was a good scare!

Nope, nothing's broke. His attacks vary for exactly this sneaky reason.
(edit: If you find out how, I recommend you don't post it, so that the uncertainty remains for others. Not knowing what to expect is what makes it fun.)

I have a soundblaster x-fi gamer. The ambient music was extremely loud for me to the point of being intolerable (also on an FM I'm working on, not a mission thing). When I turned down the volume in the creative sound panel I was able to find a happy medium between footsteps/voices and music ambients. (Adjust SFX volume in game)
Might take a few tries to tweak just right but it's worth it.

In the warehouse when that guy jumped out from the door I panicked (had the sword drawn instinctively from the ambient music ) and pressed the action button accidentally. The result was a side hit to the head with lots of blood and a one hit kill. I didn't know that if you aim someone head you could take him out just like that

Thanks Schwaa2. The ambient sound made my subwoofer sound like a freight train at one point. I'll have to check out my card settings.

I missed out on a bit of the terror since I found the gas arrow and had it ready in the warehouse. The psycho took two steps toward me and started to say something and found himself sleeping like a baby. Almost wished I didn't have it, but I haven't even done the combat tutorial stuff yet and would probably have become another victim.

Overall had a blast with the cool places to explore. I think I've finally gotten used to TDM blackjacking system.

It's possible to "backstab" people and kill them with one hit, if they are not alerted. You must have freaked out and hit him before he realized that you were there.
